This single is a recomposed version of J.S. Bach's Prelude in B flat major from the Well Tempered Clavier Book 1. These reimaginings are meant to use the language of Bach to tell a different musical story.

My first public solo piano project was the EP Out of Nothing. The inspiration for this piece is the biblical account of the creation of the world. The working title for this album was Ex Nihilo meaning "out of nothing" in Latin. God created the entire universe out of nothing. This work is meant to capture some moods and images of the creation story while exploring a combination of genres for solo piano, including jazz, contemporary, and impressionism.
